Toilets and Toddlers

Man, what is it with toddlers and toilets? As soon as you turn your back they are all over it! Violet is one and won't keep her hands out of it no matter who or what is deposited inside! Can't keep the door closed all the time though because Gemma, the two year old, is…

Just Keep Your Mouth Closed!

Yeah, this totally just happened. It is one of those moments when your glad you didn't make time to take a shower yet because you would be doing it again. Sometimes your just grateful for one shower, but to have to take two? I don't have time for that! Ever had a reflux baby? If…

Irish twins are tough!

Wow! It was a long eventful night last night! Really it was just a lot of work. My sweet hubby came home early so I could go to the temple, but (despite that online it said it was open) it was closed. I had a nice quiet drive though. When I got back there was…

No walking around poopy

Seriously! Who knew that one would have to explain this! When we poop in our underwear, stop and change it! About a year ago we were visiting family and Vincent comes walking in the room, he is my oldest. This horrendous smell files the room. "Vincent," I asked, "Did you have an accident?" Now, Vincent…

Clothes are not optional

Why is it that toddlers love having their clothes off? It's like they are a heavy burden that they have to carry around. Then you start potty training and your lucky they will wear anything. My youngest is a very obstinate three year old. Ever since he got sick and could remember it he realized…

Remember the little moments

I have just been thinking a lot lately about my kiddos. Life can be super hard! I feel like I am in that mommy is super irritable phase and I'll admit there's yelling. There is also some nagging and complaining and frustration going around at our home. Hey, we all have our moments right?! When…

Don’t dance on the fireplace

In general I let me kids climb on everything in the living room. They are not allowed on the back of the couch however. The fireplace is totally free game (plus it is also a great place to store the laundry 😉). We have like a bench fireplace so keeping the kids off of it…

60 to snow!

Spring is here! I get super excited for spring because everything feels fresh and new. That and it means summer is almost here! As soon as the snow ❄️ is gone I jump right into summer mode (the tramp does go up at about this time if we want to be literal)! No jackets outside,…

Unfolded laundry is not life threatening

Man, it was just one of those days. I had everything planned out just right. I was stepping out of my box and being a good mom by volunteering for Vincent's spring party at school, I would have time to fold the 3 loads of laundry that were hanging out in the living room, Jaxon…

Off buttons are important

There are moments when as a parent you look back and what you have taught your kids and go, "Oh, I probably should have added this to that discussion." Thankfully when they are little, the consequences of such mistakes on my part aren't incredibly devastating or life threatening. For example, when I showed Vincent how…
